" here is woodhouse.

Middlesex, April 9Th, 1887.
EDlTog BuLLETIN-I have just been
informed that /. N. Woodhouse, the
owner of the Jim Blaine Mine situated
about ten miles northerly from Haw
thorne and twenty.one miles westerly
from Middlesex, ellis Mountain Dis
trict, has mysteriously disappeared
from the mine, under circumstances
indicating that he has been foully
dealt with. My informant says that
the citizens Of Hawthorne generally
believe that Mr.. Woodhouse has been
murdered and robbed of his effects,
his team taken and driven out of the
country. The gravity OF the clroum-
stances demand immediate attention,
and if the authorities and citizens of
Hawthorne have not already moved
in the matter, hope no further time
will be lost, that a few persons will
at once join the Sheriff and make
thorough inspection of the jim Blaine
Mine Camp and surroundings, for the
recovery of the body of the murdered
miner, If he is really murdered, | have
no doubt the hody may be found
within a radius Of few miles from
the Jim Blaine Mine. After thorough
Inspection of the premises and sur
roundiDgs, if 1t is believed that The
man has been murdered, the Governor
OF the State should be Immediately
solicited to offer suitable reward for
the tracing and capture Of the murder

the abandonment of the mineral por.

which will soon be thrown open and
there will probably be some active
